Is It Time to Change?
A few weeks ago, Barb and I had the opportunity to see Bob Seger in concert (thank you, Bruce and Sally). It was a great concert and an amazing performance by talented people. Rock music is no longer my favorite, but it induced great memories. I have also learned that when an opportunity presents itself, I need to follow because there are lessons to be learned. The lesson was in my observation of the crowd. The rst thing I saw was the incredible amount of beer that was being consumed. This of course, necessitated many trips to the amazingly crowded rest rooms and a general disruption of the audience as people were coming and going every two minutes to ll the tank and then empty it. I told one very drunken fellow who was drinking beer as he was using the urinal to, just pour the beer in the toilet and cut out the middle man. He was not amused The second observation was the deterioration of saneness as the consumption of beer increased. At rst everyone was having a great time, singing, clapping, and dancing. This changed to a kind of rowdiness and then to belligerence and then wanting to ght until two young men had to be removed from the crowd. It is too bad some people do not put limits on themselves, like one or two drinks. Then the young men, their wives or girl friends, the people who had beer spilled on them and those of us who watched the episode of Jerry Springer could have enjoyed the music. The third observation was the distractedness of the audience. A huge number of people were using their cell phones during the show, to send text messages, check email, etc. While cell phones are a fabulous convenience for urgent matters, it also shows the general uneasiness of people. Many of us are deeply unsatised and cannot stay focused on what is going on at this moment. We often want something different or to be somewhere else. Again our enjoyment of a night of entertainment would be better if we could stay focused on what is happening now. We can learn to stay focused by intent and practice. My fourth lesson was thinking about the words, smashed, trashed, in the toilet, out of control, wasted, hangover, disaster, etc. All words used to describe the condition of our bodies after excessive use of alcohol. I am reminded of the recent email someone sent me. It showed photos of the destructive power of tornados. This is what the inner workings of our bodies must look like after any kind of excess. Yes, those damaged homes, towns, and lives can rebuild and recover, but things will never be exactly the same as before. Some will never recover. And so it is with parts of our bodies that are trashed and wasted during a night of FUN, they may never fully recover. According to what we know about the Apo E Gene, some of us simply cannot tolerate the toxic effects of alcohol. So, what can we do? We rst must decide to change. Then we start looking for solutions to help us with that change. AA and Al Anon certainly have been a great help to many people. Prescription Antabuse can be a big deterrent for the impulsive drinker. It will make you sick and vomit if you do drink. Saner, safer medications are Homeopathic Nux Vomica 30C, one before going out to party and one in the morning for the hangover and Hom. Aveena Sativa 3C once per day every day until things change. Both will gradually reduce ones desire to drink. There is nothing wrong with going out and having a lot of fun. There are ways to have great fun and not destroy your body while doing it. For some of us it is time to change. Put Your Health in Your Own Hands. Bob Huttinga PA-C. 989-352-6500.

Child maltreatment includes all types of abuse and neglect that occur among children under the age of 18. There are four common types of abuse. Physical Abuse occurs when a childs body is injured as a result of hitting, kicking, shaking, burning or other show of force. Sexual Abuse involves engaging a child in sexual acts. It includes fondling, rape, and exposing a child to other sexual activities. Emotional Abuse refers to behaviors that harm a childs self-worth or emotional well-being. Examples include name calling, shaming, rejection, withholding love and threatening. Neglect is the failure to meet a childs basic needs. These needs include housing, food, clothing, education, and access to medical care. The few cases of abuse or neglect we see in the news are only a small part of the problem. Many cases are not reported to the police or social services. What we do know is that: 1,760 Children died in the United States in 2007 from abuse and neglect. 794,000 Children were found to be victims of maltreatment by protective services in 2007. The impact of child maltreatment can be profound. Abused children often have physical and mental health problems that can last a lifetime.
Prevention is the best hope for reducing child abuse and neglect and improving the lives of children and families. Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline is staffed 24 hrs/day - 7 days/ week with professional crisis counselors with access to a database of 55,000 emergency social service and support resources.
Dont let The Next Blue ribbon Be In memory of Someone you Know. make The Call!!
Child Abuse costs America $258 million each day or $94 Billion Each year!
